The fact that these kids are from my hometown makes this especially fun for me. They're a scrappy team and they made a promise that they would represent. |
The one thing that I really want, ... is for our second group to be an energy unit. That's what we had in our championship run, and that's what I think you are starting to see with this group. |
The team we ultimately turned into had a great impact on his situation. If we don't turn into the team we've turned into over the past 2 1/2 years, I guarantee his situation would be a lot different and he'd probably still be here. |
The ultimate team player. Chauncey represents everything David Stern wants in this league. |
These guys aren't five stiffs from off the street. They're excellent players. But the key was their willingness and ability to mesh with each other and the ability of our coaches [Larry Brown and now Flip Saunders] to help that process along. |
They have been playing well and will undoubtedly be in the mix when it's all said and done. |
They understand going out and scoring 30 points and losing games, that's just... You've got to get in a long line of people who've done that. But there's a very short line of people who have actually won. |
This is some great competition. There's a high level of college basketball here, so it's a great game for me to come and see. |
To have your body of work honored in this manner is the ultimate in any profession. I was blessed to play with some great players and for a tremendous organization. |
To step into this spot right now, there is going to be some heat. There is going to be some pressure to win, ... The flip side is, to all the guys who called -- and we had a lot of guys call about this job -- is they all know they're going to be handed a hell of a team. |
We are excited to add Dale Davis to our roster for the upcoming season, ... Dale is a veteran presence that has proven himself in the regular season and playoffs. His defensive presence and rebounding will help solidify our bench while his experience will provide added value in our locker room. |

We are looking for a guy with some experience who can step in and not be overwhelmed by being on the floor with our guys. We are looking for a guy who can shoot the ball and has some mental toughness. |
We feel like this is a good trade for our team and gives our organization flexibility as we move forward this season and in the future. |
We have always respected the Heat and we know they are a very good team. |
